MADE USE OF UNDERSTUDIES
Both a German Emperor and a Russiar
Czar Frequently Employed
Doubles.
In a land of distrust like Russia
it is only natural that the precautions
taken should be of the most
drastic order, hence the use of the
royal understudy who has always
been a conspicuous ligure at that
court. Indeed, it was the understudy
of the late Czar Alexander 111
?a man named ivomarofl"?who was
murdered in Moscow some years ago,
when the murderer thought 1^' had
covered himself with glory bv assassinating
the czar.
Nicholas, like his father before
him, has an understudy, and the
many state functions he is supposed
to have attended -at the opening of
his reign, when the relations with
his people were more strained than
they are today, really were attended
for the most part by proxy.
Xo monarch, however, made such
frequent use of his understudy as
the late Emperor William of Germany.
Every day as the clock struck
twelve the emperor came out and
bowed on the palace balcony. It was
not until some time after the emperor's
demise that the secret was
made known that the man who appeared
daily on the balcony was the
royal understudy. And the person
who gave the secret away was the
great Bismarck.
WAR HAS SPARED CARUSO
Famous Tenor So Far Exempt, but
Always at the Service of
Hie Country.
Caruso's apartment in his Xew
York hotel was filled with flowers on
the night of his return from abroad,
lie seemed glad to be back. He was
proud that he had spent 35 days in
the Italian army. He is forty-one
years old and got exemption papers
to come over here.
*'If my country needs my arms,"
said the tenor, standing in the
middle of his room, and waving his
own, "I am ready."
He said he sang October 19 in
VlArannri fnr t Knnnfit nf rnfnrroAQ
lmiuv,i '"v UV""V 111
and the receipt* were 35,000 francs.
He added that his voice is all right,
but that he has suffered all summer
with headaches.
' Too much vacation/' he laughed.
"I didn't sing in Germany this year
and it gave me too much time.
"I spent a lot of mv time giving
away bread and money," he con- j
tinned. "The people came in streams j
to my country estate. On one farm I
near Florence there are 29 families,
with an average of nine children to
p family."
I
Weary Walker?No, mum, I ain't
dirty from choice, I'm bound by
honor. Yer see, I once wrote a testimonial
for a soapmaker and promfeed
to use no other.
Madam?Well, why don't you use
(that? ' .
Wean- Walker?Because, mum,
jfhe firm failed about five years ago.
GERMAN WARSHIPS ACTIVE.
Strike English Coast Without
Warning?Damage to Property.
London, December J 6:? For the
first time in centuries England has
been struck by a foreign foe. A
squadron of swift German cruisers
crept through the fog last night to
the eastern coast and turned their
guns against the Britons.
When day broke they began bombardment
of three important towns
?Hartlepool, at the mouth of the
Tees; Whitby,thirty-five miles southward,
and Scarborough, noted as a
pleasure resort,fifteen miles beyond.
Hartlepool suffered worst. There
two battle cruisers and an armored
I '
cruiser were engaged. The British j
war office fixes the number of dead
at Hartlepool as seven soldiers and
twenty-two civilians and the wounded
at fourteen soldiers and fifty civilians.
At Scarborough, shelled by a battle
cruiser and an armored cruiser,
thirteen casualties are reported,
while at Whitby two were killed and
two wounded.
Men, women and children of the
civilian population were left dead or
wounded, struck without warning
while at work. In all the casualty
list totals 110, according to the official
estimates, of whom thirty-one
are known to be dead.
At Hartlepool churches were damaged
and the gas works and lumber
oof nrKilo of Whi'thv I
I y ai U9 VT CI t CCV UIUV.,?IUUV M v ? ?
the Abbey was struck. The Balmoral
hotel at Scarborough received
the full effects of a shell. A number
1 of houses and shops were shattered
and partly burned in each of the
towns.
The hostile squadron escaped in
the mist after an encounter with
coast guard vessels.
Display Windows.
One of the most attractive show
windows we have ever seen in a
store of it's kind is that of the Kingstree
Hardware Company. It is
especially beautiful at night under
the soft rays of an electric light
with a red shade. The display embraces
cut glass, carving sets, hand
t j ??
some cmnaware auu iuau> umci
useful and attractive articles suggestive
of the great gift season, and
is another example of the artistic
touch of "Uncle" Joe Alsbrook.
The Kingstree Dry Goods Co have
two attractively arranged display
windows. One is devoted to toys
and Christmas trinkets for the little
folk, while the other is fitted out
with gents' furnishings. Both are '
decorated with holly.
Britton & Hutson's show windows 1
have a special charm for Main street
pedestrians. They are full of choice ,
edibles and fairly make one's mouth
water for a taste of the good things 1
there on display.
Jacobs & Scott's windows present
a holiday aspect with an exceptionally
nice lot of Christmas dainties,
and it goes without saying, that
they're fit for the kings to dine upon
when it comes to quality, for "Montie"
believes in pure food and plenty
of it.
The large show windows of the
People's Mercantile Co are attractively
arranged for the holiday season
and present a splendid array of
the goods carried in their big store.
Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co have
put their big store in holiday attire
and have two handsomely arranged
SKAUJ winrinwB
(
The windows of our jewelry stores
need not be commented upon here,
since they have everything to make
a beautiful display with. Suffice to
say they use it with the addition of
a few sprigs of holly.

The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head .
Because of its tonic and laxative effect. LAXA- I

THAT COLD YOU HAVE
may bring sickness, doctors bills and
loss of work; you know that serious
sickness usually starts with a cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Renumber that.
Overcome the weakness and nature
cures the cold?that is the law of
reason. Carefully avoid drugged pills,
syrups or stimulants; they are only
props and braces and whips.
It is the pure medicinal nourishment
in Scott's Emulsion that quickly enriches
the blood, strengthens the lungs
and helps heal the air passages.
And mark this well?Scott's Emulsion
generates body-heat as protection
against winter sickness. Get Scott's
at your drug store to-day. It always
strengthens and builds up.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured ! ^
by Jo-al applications, as they cannot reach 5
the diseased portion 01' the ear. There is [
only one way to cure deafness, and that is r
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is ,
caused by an inllamed condition of the mu- I T,
Ceng lining of the Eustachian Tube. When 1
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling > ^
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is j
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and | t1
is i the inflammation can be taken out j /and
this tube r stored to Its normal condi- v.
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
canes out of ten nr* caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bu: an inflamed condition
